Scarborough calls Wayne LaPierre op-ed ‘laced with racial overtones’

Feb. 14, 2013 11:02am Eddie Scarry

On MSNBC’s Morning Joe today, former Republican Congressman Joe Scarborough read an excerpt from a column by NRA President Wayne LaPierre and called it “laced with racial overtones.” The column was published in The Daily Caller yesterday.

In his column, LaPierre refers to “Looters [who] ran wild in south Brooklyn” after Hurricane Sandy. He also says “Latin American drug gangs have invaded every city of significant size in the United States.” In its entirety, its a call for more people to defend the Second Amendment and join the NRA.

“This is so laced with racial overtones,” Scarborough said this morning. “The Republican Party, if they were smart, their leaders today would condemn it, but they’re not smart; they’re scared, and if they keep running scared they’re going to lose more votes, they’re going to get hammered in future elections if they allow this clown to continue to lead them around by their nose. They’re shameful; they need to be leaders.”

In CONTROL, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us. Find out more HERE.

“95% of the race card players CHOOSE to be in same color/race relationships (marriage, shacking, friend(s)) yet they swear they’re not bigots or racist. Go figure”! SMC

Peace through strength. Even Gandhi was a pro gun activist. http://www.thecollegefix.com/post/12452

“Laced with racial overtones.”

What he said was accurate
Are not MS-13 members hispanic?
Are not most looters black?

No one is more afraid than a Liberal. They don’t believe that right and wrong is in anyway fixed or perpetual. This means that it may eventually be rational for the government to eliminate them or turn on them. Political correctness gives them a sense of security. If stealing is wrong, they could not possibly have a progressive tax system. If killing is wrong, they could not have abortion and euthanasia. If lying was wrong, they could not have a state of the nation address. Many of the things that they are afraid of are manufactured and not likely to happen. The elimination of child abuse has yet to pay any kind of dividends that I can see. The education system is a massive failure except for the unions and those pushing liberal policies. The welfare system is a failure. The economic development system is a failure. If real engineers failed as our social engineers failed, the social engineers would be in jail or worse.
